Welcome to Sakai sensei's A-level Japanese / GCSE Japanese support page.
The aim of this page is to share learning resources I developped with anyone
who learns GCSE / A-level Japanese in the UK. I hope my site is helpful
for your Japanese learning.

If you have any materials you would like me to develop, please contact
here. I cannot guarantee, but I will try.New: I have added AS and A2 (A-level) Kanji lists and mini cards. Go to
Kanji/Vocab section.

This is a good start of Eneloop use:

Did you know?

I am sure you use dozens of batteries every year for your digital cameras, mp3 players, remote controls, clocks etc. A Japanese electric company 'SANYO' has invented fantastic rechargeable batteries called ENELOOP. With ENELOOP you can recharge the batteries for 1000 times, which saves your money
and helps you to stop damaging the earth by disposing of very toxic batteries.
I have been using the ELELOOP for years, and found that they last very long when you use them for digital
cameras. Also the energy loss when you are not using them is very few.
I am very pleased that a Japanese company invented such meaningful batteries
for us.

ENELOOP costs more than usual batteries and you may have to buy a battery charger
for them, but it pays well in the long run and makes you feel much less
guilty when you use batteries, because you do not throw away any batteries.
SANYO has been strong in battery area over years, if you may not know.
So you can trust them.

This font is developed based on my hand writing. Hiragana and Katakana
are genuinly my hand writing. Some Kanji are my hand writing, but many
are automatically generated by computer. I practised calligraphy since
I was nursery for about 20 years or so, so I suppose at least Hiragana
and Katakana writing is fine. This font includes what is called "dai
ichi suijun" only. You cannot use Kanji, which is "dai ni suijun,
but dai ichi suijun is good enought up to A2.
